Gene regulation: a tale of germline mRNA tails.
Gene regulation often plays by different rules in the germline compared to the soma. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the spatial and temporal expression of germline genes is controlled post-transcriptionally via the 3' UTR rather than transcriptionally via the promoter.
